We were just doing it since the upstream package does it. I agree that it seems a bit complex. But so are autotools in general if you try to follow what they do. My first reaction was to compile the udev packages statically and not install any library, but we fould out that some packages do depend on the library. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
